The Tanzquartier Wien (TQW) - the center for contemporary dance and performance - puts on acts in its three studios from October to June and Hall G in the MuseumsQuartier from October to April. Dance productions and performances by national and international artists, companies and dance professionals can be experienced. A wide range of formats are shown. The TQW doesn't shy away from risk or experiment. The areas of training, rehearsal and research are also covered in depth.

In addition to its three dance studios, the Dance Quarter Vienna studio complex also includes a library that is open to the public. The online media library contains in excess of 500 recordings of performances and contemporary dance pieces.
